Chapter Three: Crash Landing
Sitting at the kitchen table Kaoru stirred the steamed vegetables in his plate around in a circle aimlessly. Seven and a half years old to date the young hanyou listens carefully as his mother and father discuss plans for the future. His powers or so they had called them were beginning to awaken and judgmental thoughts were being passed. Sighing slowly Kaoru looks over at his mother who is slowly twirling a piece of her ginger hair around her finger; a clear sign that she was nervous. Or that's at least what her son had noticed over the past several months since the heated debate had begun. His father passing a glance over at Kaoru and then to his chosen son, Kaoru couldn't help but to feel rather dejected. Why had his mother chosen Kami to be her husband again? He was a brash and rather controlling man, so what had she seen in him when he proposed? Rolling his orbs emerald green soon met bright amethyst. Letting off a giggle Kaoru's stepbrother launched a pea at his head. What a pain! Eight and a half years old and yet Tamaki still hadn't learned his table manners yet.
"Okaachan, tell Tamaki-kun to quit playing with his dinner." Kaoru whines pointing at the now innocent looking Tamaki.
"Amaterasu-chan, I don't see what I did wrong." Tamaki lies batting his eyes lashes white tenshi wings fluttering softly.
"Kaoru, Kami-sama and I are speaking. Tama-chan, eat your dinner don't play in it." Amaterasu scolds the two cocking an eyebrow.
"But…" Both youngsters begin before Kami shoots a glare their way.
"Okaasan is speaking. Silence your tongue and finish eating, Kaoru." Kami growls at the redhead before turning back to his wife.
Why only Kaoru and never Tamaki? Was it because of his appearance. So what if he was different! So what if he possessed one white and one black wing! There was nothing wrong with him; or at least nothing he could think of at the moment. Fingering the chain around his neck, an absent habit he had long possessed since early on in his childhood, Kaoru watches as his mother's lips pull downwards into a frown.
Telepathy is what his guardians were using to speak to one another for the moment. A power unable to be acquired or put to use by a tenshi or a youkai until he or she turns the mature age of fourteen. So why was it that Kaoru was quite positive that it wasn't his voice he would hear in his head every now and again. A voice with rising and falling tones that made him weak in the knees, but rejuvenated with inner strength. Was it his strange new power that his mother was debating over with Kami, or was it something more?
"Kaoru, may I speak with you a moment?" His mother suddenly asks dragging the youngster out of his current thoughts.
"Sure." Kaoru nods slowly taking a glance back at a shrugging Tamaki.
Rising from his seat, Kaoru meets his mother in the center of the dinning room. Taking her son by the hand Amaterasu leads the hanyou out into a beautiful white rose garden where a small parlor is located. Sitting down at the parlor the tenshi pats a spot by her side delicately. Lowering himself down onto the comfy cushion seat Kaoru gives his mother an inquisitive look.
"What is this about, Okaachan? If it's about earlier at the table then you have my sincerest apologizes. Tamaki-kun was provoking me though." Kaoru states furrowing his brows after uttering Tamaki's name.
"No, this isn't about your Oniisan. Kao-chan, this conversation will be about you." Amaterasu explains taking her son's hand in her own.
"Okaachan, have I done something that's upset Kami-sama?" Kaoru inquires warily.
"No, darling. Kami-sama and myself only want what's best for you. That's why you need to believe me when I say don't worry." Amaterasu smiles softly as Kaoru shakes his head.
"Don't worry?" Kaoru questions clutching his head. "Okaachan, what do you mean by that?"
"You're leaving us, Kaoru. You're going to Earth." Amaterasu whispers as her son's locket pulses a blinding white color.
"OKAACHAN!" Kaoru cries as he is consumed by the strange force.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Seven and a half year old Hikaru is sitting in his bedchamber staring blankly at the wall in front of him. Beside him watching his every move inquisitively is his older stepbrother Kyoya. On the outside the two seemed like a perfect pair of siblings, but once inside the household all Hell would break loose. Hikaru unable to deal with Kyoya being extremely serious, and Kyoya unable to comprehend why his incompetent Otouto was so hyper and had a terrible temper. Pulling down his lower eyelid and sticking out his tongue, Kaoru blew a raspberry at a bewildered Kyoya. Growling slightly for a moment Kyoya glares at Hikaru, light glistening off his glasses in just the right angle, causing the redhead to nearly jump out of his skin. Batting at Kyoya with an open palm, the younger sibling just barely misses his stepbrother's face causing only his glasses to fall off and onto the floor. Kyoya bearing his fangs pounces at Hikaru initiating their fall to the hardwood. Hands at each other's throats it is not long before Orochi walks in on both of the boys fighting against a death role.
"Kyoya, Hikaru stop that this instant!" Orochi hollers as the boys tumble across the length of Hikaru's room.
"Tou-chan!" Hikaru gasps from Kyoya's iron grip.
"Orochi-san." Kyoya says quietly before letting the hanyou go.
"Kyoya, out now! Kaoru, bed now!" Orochi growls as the young men scramble to their feet.
"Gomen." Kyoya replies bowing his head to the demon prince before leaving the room.
"Tou-chan!" Hikaru whines as his father shoots a glare his way stopping mid-protest. "Gomen."
"For you to get along for one day is all I ask." Orochi sighs plopping down on the mattress beside his son. "You can't even do that for your tou-chan can you, Hika-chan?"
"He started it, tou-chan." Hikaru protests folding his arms across his chest defiantly.
"I don't care who started it, Hikaru." Orochi said rather serious. "Because of what happened tonight Kuro-sama may just reconsider what we've discussed."
Looking at his father, his head slightly cocked to the side, Hikaru's eyes grew wide with fear. Jumping off the bed and planting himself in front of his father, Hikaru stood with his hands on his hips emerald eyes slowly filling with moisture. Taken aback Orochi reaches for his son who stubbornly smacks his hand away. Then pointing a finger at his father Hikaru begins shouting and cursing before breaking down into a sob.
"YOU PROMISED! YOU PROMISED, TOU-CHAN!" Hikaru cries stomping his foot hard against the floor.
"Hika…" Orochi began before he was cut off by more yelling.
"YOU SAID YOU'D RECONSIDER! YOU SAID YOU WOULDN'T LET KAKASAMA SEND ME AWAY!" Hikaru screams as his white wing slowly begins to change to black like his father's wings.
"Hikaru…Hikaru please stop." Orochi begs softly as his son wails loudly and drops to the floor.
"YOU PROMISED! You promised! You promised…" Hikaru sobs loudly into his hands before a warm embrace surrounds his shaken form.
"Don't worry." Orochi sighs voice muffled against Hikaru's ginger hair. "You will definitely be okay."
And then suddenly time repeated itself. The glow from the identical locket consumes Hikaru's shaken form causing him to disappear out of his father's sight. Screaming TOU-CHAN! at the top of his lungs the oldest twin looses consciousness falling into the black void of time and space.
~On Earth a bright light soon begins to fade. And in its wake lies two identical twin boys with white and black feathered wings. Around their necks a locket containing memories of the past, and in their heads the utterance of don't worry softly repeated over and over again.
